  • Detection of Estrogen Receptor Endocrine Disruptor Potency of Commonly Used Organochlorine Pesticides Using the LUMI-CELL ER Bioassay
    DEVELOPMENTAL AND REPRODUCTIVE TOXICITY Detection of Estrogen Receptor Endocrine Disruptor Potency of Commonly Used Organochlorine Pesticides Using The LUMI-CELL ER Bioassay John D. Gordon1, Andrew C: Chu1, Michael D. Chu2, Michael S. Denison3, George C. Clark1 1Xenobiotic Detection Systems, Inc., 1601 E. Geer St., Suite S, Durham, NC 27704, USA 2Alta Analytical Perspectives, 2714 Exchange Drive, Wilmington, NC 28405, USA 3Dept. of Environmental Toxicology, Meyer Hall, Univ. of California, Davis; Davis, CA 95616 USA Introduction Organochlorine pesticides are found in many ecosystems worldwide as result of agricultural and industrial activities and exist as complex mixtures. The use of these organochlorine pesticides has resulted in the contamination of lakes and streams, and eventually the animal and human food chain. Many of these pesticides, such as pp ’-DDT, pp ’-DDE, Kepone, Vinclozolin, and Methoxychlor (a substitute for the banned DDT), have been described as putative estrogenic endocrine disruptors, and act by mimicking endogenous estrogen 1-3 . Estrogenic compounds can have a significant detrimental effect on the endocrine and reproductive systems of both human and other animal populations 4 . Previous studies have shown a strong association between several EDCs (17p-Estradiol, DES, Zeralanol, Zeralenone, Coumestrol, Genistein, Biochanin A, Diadzein, Naringenin, Tamoxifin) and estrogenic activity via uterotropic assay, cell height, gland number, increased lactoferrin, and a transcriptional activity assay using BG1Luc4E2 cells4 . Some other examples of the effects of these EDCs are: decreased reproductive success and feminization of males in several wildlife species; increased hypospadias along with reductions in sperm counts in men; increase in the incidence of human breast and prostate cancers; and endometriosis 3-5 .

  • California Proposition 65 (Prop65)
    20 NOVEMBER 2018 To Whom It May Concern: Certificate of Compliance California Proposition 65 California’s Proposition 65 entitles California consumers to special warnings for products that contain chemicals known to the state of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm if those products expose consumers to such chemicals above certain threshold levels. This is to certify that Alliance Memory comply with Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act of 1986, commonly known as California Proposition 65, that are ‘known to the state to cause cancer or reproductive toxicity’ as of December 29, 2017, by following the labelling guidelines set out therein. Alliance Memory labelling system clearly states a ‘Prop65 warning’ as and when necessary, on product packaging that is destined for the state of California, USA. This document certifies that to the best of our current knowledge and belief and under normal usage, Alliance Memory’s IC products are in compliance with California Proposition 65 – The Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act, 1986) and do not contain chemical elements of those listed within the California Proposition 65 chemical listing as shown below.

    Health Effects Support Document for 1,1-Dichloro-2,2- bis(p-chlorophenyl)ethylene (DDE) Health Effects Support Document for 1,1-Dichloro-2,2-bis(p-chlorophenyl)ethylene (DDE) U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Office of Water (4304T) Health and Ecological Criteria Division Washington, DC 20460 www.epa.gov/safewater/ccl/pdf/DDE.pdf EPA Document Number EPA-822-R-08-003 January, 2008 Printed on Recycled Paper DDE — January, 2008 iv FOREWORD The Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA), as amended in 1996, requires the Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to establish a list of contaminants to aid the Agency in regulatory priority setting for the drinking water program. In addition, the SDWA requires EPA to make regulatory determinations for no fewer than five contaminants by August 2001 and every five years thereafter. The criteria used to determine whether or not to regulate a chemical on the Contaminant Candidate List (CCL) are the following: • The contaminant may have an adverse effect on the health of persons. • The contaminant is known to occur or there is a substantial likelihood that the contaminant will occur in public water systems with a frequency and at levels of public health concern. • In the sole judgment of the Administrator, regulation of such contaminant presents a meaningful opportunity for health risk reduction for persons served by public water systems. The Agency’s findings for all three criteria are used in making a determination to regulate a contaminant. The Agency may determine that there is no need for regulation when a contaminant fails to meet one of the criteria.

  • Report on Pesticide Rapid Assessments
    REPORT ON PESTICIDE RAPID ASSESSMENTS Minnesota Department of Health This report was prepared by the Minnesota Department of Health (MDH), Drinking Water Contaminants of Emerging Concern Program; Dan Balluff, Alexandra Barber, Jim Jacobus, Sarah Johnson, and Pam Shubat. The Pesticide Rapid Assessment Project was made possible by funds from the Clean Water Fund, from the Clean Water, Land and Legacy Amendment. For more information: Drinking Water Contaminants of Emerging Concern Program Phone: 651-201-4899 Website: www.health.state.mn.us/cec Email: [email protected] December 2014 Table of Contents Executive Summary 4 Background 5 Methods for Conducting Rapid Assessments 6 Results 10 Discussion 13 Table 1: Pesticides listed by MDA for which current assessments were available or are pending 16 Table 2: Pesticide degradates for which MDH recommends the non-cancer rapid assessment of a surrogate chemical 17 References 18 Appendix A: Rapid Assessments Table 20 Executive Summary The Minnesota Department of Health (MDH) Health Risk Assessment Unit developed a new, rapid way to assess health risks of chemicals in drinking water. Rapid assessments were completed for 159 pesticides selected by the Minnesota Department of Agriculture or Minnesota Department of Health. The chemicals were selected because no MDH drinking water guidance was available or the guidance was outdated. The result of a rapid assessment is an amount of chemical in water that is unlikely to harm people who drink the water. MDH used information on toxic (harmful) effects of pesticides and risk assessment methods used by MDH for other types of drinking water guidance. The values that result from the rapid assessments are likely to be low compared to the result MDH would produce from an in-depth and lengthy review of the same chemical.

  • Pesticides in Streams in New Jersey and Long Island, New
    PESTICIDES IN STREAMS IN NEW JERSEY National Water-Quality AND LONG ISLAND, NEW YORK, AND Assessment Program Long Island - New Jersey RELATION TO LAND USE Study Unit Abstract Pesticide compounds were detected in all 50 water samples collected from streams in New Jersey and Long Island, New York, during June 9-18, 1997. Samples were analyzed for 47 compounds, of which 25 were detected. The number of pesticides detected at each site ranged from 1 to 14. The seven most frequently detected pesticides were atrazine (in 93 percent of samples), metolachlor (86 percent), prometon (84 percent), desethyl-atrazine (78 percent), simazine (78 percent), carbaryl (44 percent), and diazinon (44 percent). All pesticide concentrations were within both U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) and State maximum contami- nant levels (MCL’s) for drinking water and USEPA lifetime health advisory levels (HAL’s). Concentrations of dieldrin and methyl- azinphos at one or more sites, however, equaled or exceeded a Federal or State water-quality criterion for aquatic life. The pesticides detected in a stream were related to the land-use composition of the basin. Detection frequencies of 14 of the 25 pesticides detected were highest at agricultural sites; acetochlor, azinphos-methyl, carbofuran, and pebulate were detected only at agricultural sites. Seven compounds were detected most frequently at urban sites; trifluralin, dieldrin, napropamide, and benfluralin were detected only at urban sites. Four compounds were detected most frequently at sites draining areas of mixed land use. No pesticides were detected most frequently at sites draining forested areas. The median concentration and the detection frequency of a given pesticide always were highest in samples from sites in the same land-use category.The median concentrations of seven pesticides at the agricultural sites were at least twice as high as the median concentrations at sites in other land-use categories.

  • Changes in Soil Microbial Community and Activity Caused by Application
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Changes in soil microbial community and activity caused by application of dimethachlor and linuron Juraj Medo1*, Jana Maková1, Janka Medová2, Nikola Lipková1, Renata Cinkocki1, Radoslav Omelka3 & Soňa Javoreková1 Soil microorganisms and their activities are essential for maintaining soil health and fertility. Microorganisms can be negatively afected by application of herbicides. Although efects of herbicides on microorganisms are widely studied, there is a lack of information for chloroacetamide herbicide dimethachlor. Thus, dimethachlor and well known linuron were applied to silty-loam luvisol and their efects on microorganisms were evaluated during112 days long laboratory assay. Dimethachlor and linuron were applied in doses 1.0 kg ­ha−1 and 0.8 kg ­ha−1 corresponding to 3.33 mg ­kg−1 and 2.66 mg ­kg−1 respectively. Also 100-fold doses were used for magnifcation of impacts. Linuron in 100-fold dose caused minor increase of respiration, temporal increase of soil microbial biomass, decrease of soil dehydrogenase activity, and altered microbial community. Dimethachlor in 100-fold dose signifcantly increased respiration; microbial biomass and decreased soil enzymatic activities. Microbial composition changed signifcantly, Proteobacteria abundance, particularly Pseudomonas and Achromobacter genera increased from 7 to 28th day. In-silico prediction of microbial gene expression by PICRUSt2 software revealed increased expression of genes related to xenobiotic degradation pathways. Evaluated characteristics of microbial community and activity were not afected by herbicides in recommended doses and the responsible use of both herbicides will not harm soil microbial community. Modern agriculture depends heavily on pesticide use. Majority of the used pesticides are herbicides applied to almost all crops in conventional agriculture systems 1.
